Chapter 816 - - 576 No one can see through Duge’s cards_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

When Duge decided to break with the Immortal Court, they actually no longer had any other choice. They couldn’t possibly really give up on Duge and cooperate with Xianyou True Monarch.

For a moment.

The cries of battle shook the heavens.

Swords and spears were raised together, and demon energy permeated the air.

“Longevity Emperor, Bai Da, you will regret this,” Xianyou True Monarch vituperated as he revealed his three-headed and six-armed Dharma Body, wielding his daemon-slaying sword to fend off the Black Bear King and with a thrust of his spear, he forced back the White Wolf King, “The game is over, he’ll walk away scot-free, who cares if you live or die?”

“Immortal Life Buddha,” uttered the Longevity Emperor, “Xianyou True Monarch, whether the Human Emperor is an Incarnation of Heaven, we can discern for ourselves. You needn’t trouble yourself. All Buddhist warriors, heed my command, join forces with the Demon Clan, and slay the Heavenly Soldiers.”

The many disciples and followers of the Longevity Emperor also charged forth; their numbers were few but made up for it with exceptional quality.

Even as they ran into battle, those who practiced the reformed Buddhist Dharma shone with splendor and majesty.

Puhua Celestial Venerable pursued the Taixuan Emperor, but the Thunder Division Generals were still present. Seeing the Demon Kings charging, they hastily wielded the Thunderbolt Axe, Thunder Hammer, and other thunder-related Magical Treasures to bring down endless thunder, attacking both the Demon Clan and the Buddhist warriors indiscriminately.

Of all Spells, thunder was the strongest; without appropriate protective Magical Treasures, even a True Immortal struck by thunder would suffer bone-deep injuries.

Xianyou True Monarch, commanding his troops and surrounding Mount Sumeru, relied on the Heavenly Net and the Thunder Division Deities, deterring the numerically superior Demon Clan from charging with full force.

…

Duge had been on many Alien Battlefields and commanded large-scale wars, but this was his first time witnessing a war where Spells flew about and Immortals clashed with monsters.

In the sky, dark clouds roiled, with Heavenly Soldiers and Generals concealed within; they were layered upon one another, with banners rippling and the sound of drums rumbling in waves.

Those Heavenly Soldiers only at the Golden Immortal Level must have practiced joint attack techniques, combining dozens of them to release Spells equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal’s might.

Huge crossbows also shot arrows from the clouds downwards, arrows which must have also been special Magical Treasures. Their speed was fast, their penetrative force strong; like shooting stars, impossible to dodge in time, leaving a large hole the size of a bowl when they hit.

The lightning strikes from the Thunder Division Deities were comparable to the Heavenly Tribulation, with lightning jumping in chains—striking down swathes with each flash.

The Demon Clan was not to be outdone, with hundreds of demons raising massive shield Magical Treasures and charging upwards. The arrows that fell on them would be deflected.

There were also Great Demon Monsters who could breathe black vapor to incinerate arrows. Arrows that trembled with Spiritual Energy would extinguish their glow upon contact with the black vapor, becoming no different from ordinary arrows.

On the ground, massive catapults hurled flaming boulders into the sky, which exploded within the clouds. Heavenly Soldiers and Generals struck by the exploding boulders would scream as they fell from the clouds.

As for those above the Golden Immortal Level among the Heavenly Generals and Great Demon Monsters, many engaged in direct combat, with Magic Artifacts and Dharma Bodies casting techniques, and Spiritual Energy flying chaotically, dazzling to the eyes.

A moment of inattention could result in being struck by someone nearby…

Such a battlefield was far more terrifying than any mortal’s battleground. Even Alien Warriors, despite their strong regenerative abilities and prowess in skills, would be cannon fodder upon entering such a battlefield.

Whether Art Techniques or Magical Treasures, the area of effect was too wide; almost the entire battlefield had no safe spots. If one’s physical prowess wasn’t strong enough, a near miss meant death.

The most conspicuous on the battlefield was none other than Xianyou True Monarch; in his three-headed and six-armed Dharma Body, he commands the battle against the Black Bear King, White Wolf King, Elephant Demon King, and Yellow Lion King, holding his own without losing ground. Outfighting the four Demon Kings, no wonder the Immortal Emperor chose him as the commander.

Bai Da and the Longevity Emperor, as the main commanders, did not enter the battlefield.

Bai Da held a command banner, remotely directing the entire Demon Clan’s movements. Without her command and coordination, the casualties of the Demon Clan would have been much worse.

Having been confined to the Mortal Realm, a place scarce in Spiritual Energy, for a million years, the Demon Clan, even with its vast numbers, could not compare in overall quality to the well-trained Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

The Longevity Emperor, on the other hand, waved the Earth-Separating Flame Light Banner, acting as a firefighter. Wherever there was danger, a wave of his flag would ignite a sky full of flames, either inflicting harm on the enemy or rescuing allies…

With a quarter of its forces wounded by an ambush from the Taixuan Emperor and its strongest fighter, Puhua Celestial Venerable, off pursuing the enemy, the Heavenly Court’s side still managed to exert effective pressure on Mount Sumeru’s forces.

It must be said that the combat strength of the Thunder Division Generals was too strong; even the speed-reputed King Roc could not break through the Thunder Net’s defense. His feathers were scorched black, in places even the raw red muscles were exposed…

…

Too strong!

The corner of Duge’s eye twitched inexplicably, feeling even more grateful for awakening the skill to Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth. Otherwise, had he encountered such a formation, a hundred of him would not have been enough to die.

Pan-Universe Entertainment was crazy to have chosen such a world as an Alien Battlefield.

But now…

Having witnessed the combat style of this world, Duge dashed directly into the heart of the battlefield.

He held his hands high, and the Bright Divine Power poured forth from him, falling upon all the wounded members of the Demon Clan, helping them to mend their injuries.

At the same time.

Duge wielded the Thunder God’s Power, forcibly controlling the thunder falling from the thunder-related Magical Treasures, directing it toward the Heavenly Soldiers’ formations.

The Heavenly Soldiers were caught off guard, with a large swath scorched by the electric net.

“Good,” King Roc couldn’t help but cheer, taking advantage of the disruption Duge caused in the electric net, he spread his wings and charged at the Thunder Division Generals, seeking to engage in close combat.
